How the Pull-Back in Commodity Prices Could Impact Inflation
Last week, we discussed the new S&P 500 (SPY) dynamic of rising recession risk and falling inflation risk. And, we saw it play out this week as economic data and earnings continue to indicate an economy that isn't exactly robust but certainly not in a recession. Meanwhile falling oil and commodity prices imply that inflation expectations will decline. It also played out with strength in bonds, and the market lowering the Fed's terminal rate for the hiking cycle. Today's commentary is going to dig a bit deeper into this new dynamic and why the economy is going to continue to roll over which means that rates and inflation should soon follow. Then, I want to briefly cover the bullish and bearish case. Read on below to find out more…

2 Big Problems That Could Further Impact the Stock Market
In last week's commentary, we noted that the S&P 500 (SPY) had been range-bound, but that "it may be prudent to pare back on risk and exposure" due to signs of weakness like rising credit spreads and a weakening growth outlook. However, I didn't anticipate the speed and intensity of the decline. Since last Thursday, we are down 8.7%. The reason is obvious. Rising credit spreads indicate more financial stress, while a weakening growth outlook means more economic stress. Then, you have the Fed hiking by more than expected and taking an even more hawkish stance despite the rapid slowing in many parts of the economy which is just beginning to course through the system. Today's commentary will explore this issue in more detail. Read on below…
Sideways Range with Little Change Awaiting CPI Report
The S&P 500 (SPY) has had a strong thrust higher from very oversold levels in late May, and we've enjoyed some nice gains. Since then, we've trended sideways in a relatively tight range. This makes sense as the CPI report is coming on Friday and is expected to reveal whether last month's lower inflation print was just a blip or the start of a trend. Needless to say, I believe this will determine the market's next big move. Last week, I laid out my case for why this range would resolve higher. Today, I want to update this outlook and give some reasons why it may be prudent to pare back on risk and exposure. Read on below to find out more…
Out of the Box Thinking for Today’s Market
I remember the end of March 2020, when the S&P 500 (SPY) started ripping higher, following a more than 35% decline over the previous few weeks. At the time, the consensus was that this was a bear market rally or an oversold bounce given the uncertainties involved. However, I remember thinking that what if this bounce just keeps going and turns into a V-shaped rebound to new highs. It seemed absurd, so absurd that I never even shared the idea with anyone. Hindsight reveals that rather than being absurd, this was inspired. In today's commentary, I want to propose a similar, 'out of the box' thought experiment. In addition, I want to give some more follow-up thoughts from last week's bull vs bear discussion. Read on below to find out more…
